An archival photograph capturing a 13 year old Mounir mid-air, clearing a metal gate on his skateboard during his teenage years in New York City. The image documents a period when skateboarding occupied a central place in his life, offering an early experience of independence, creative expression, and freedom from convention. Urban architecture became both an obstacle and an opportunity, transforming ordinary spaces into environments for experimentation and self-expression. Preserved as a record of youthful fearlessness, the photograph reflects a relationship with risk and personal freedom that continues to influence the artist’s creative practice long after his departure from the sport.
